Did you consider specializing for the case of an aligned pointer? If
it's a string (c string or byte string) it's almost always going to be
aligned, right?
I hacked up a patch (attached). I lost track of which benchmark we're
using to test the performance, but when I test in a loop it seems
substantially faster.
It reads past the NUL byte, but only to the next alignment boundary,
which I think is OK (though I think I'd need to fix the patch for when
maxalign < 8).
